TG Gondard, a French musician residing in Brussels, will start off the matinee with quirky lo-fi synth pop. He's currently on tour for his recently released album Avontuur II. A visual artist too, he will show some of his latest video work.

Dutch producer and artist Piyojo follows up with sample-based, IDM-like pop. Last year, he released an album and an EP. That EP, titled 'Live Recordings Restored By Zachte Man', was picked up by THUMP, the electronic music and culture channel from VICE. Let's see what he has in store for this year!

Simiskina, an Oslo-based duo, pick up elements from contemporary classical music and jazz in their improvisations. They recently released their debut album on the Portuguese label Clean Feed. The self-titled album consists of ten minimalistic acoustic improvisations, characterized by dynamic rhythmic patterns, prepared piano and double bass.

Live, Simsikina will be accompanied by the French filmmaker and visual artist Xavier Quérel, providing visuals with a 16mm projector and lights. He co-founded L'Atelier MTK, a collective film laboratory. (His METAMKINE-colleague Christophe Auger recently participated in OFFoff's event about ‘expanded cinema', To Be Alive.)

To encounter is to affect and be affected, infect and be infected; envelop and be enveloped. Even in the extreme of solitude, encountering is not to, extrinsically, collide with someone else, but to experiment with the distance that seperates us, and fly over this distance in a crazy back-and-forth.-Peter Pál Pelbart

History repeats itself, first as a tragedy, second as a farce. – Karl Marx

In the exposition HEIR – KÖNYNCK it seems as if Sibran Sampers (°1991) is showing us the artifacts of a lost civilisation. Preserved hare skins and scalps in display cabinets draw the attention and recall a tribal and violent past. Nevertheless, the pieces are false and have no historical or ethnographical value. They were made in the present and will serve in the future. After all, a crown is always waiting for a significant head of state. By means of a totemistic imagination and a certain amount of cultural pessimism, Sampers puts the morbid beauty of the skins in contrast with the political topicality. What is the artist preparing for? The worst? Or kingship?

Making sure that you'll start 2018 in the best way possible, we have a great Cosmic Slime party coming up in January. So come dance away those winter blues with us!

<3 KING DICK (BE)https://kingdickisnr1.bandcamp.com/Ahh, where to begin with this one? Wim De Busser is a man of many talents: he's a succesful jazz musician, composer, Antwerp night shop connoisseur and has performed with Zita Swoon Group, Helmut Lotti, Emiliana Torrini and many more. In 2015, he started his solo-project King Dick, labeled as lo-fi psych pop or, a bit more precise, oompah-trash pop. The first two albums, New King Dick and KD-Time, are hard to describe but easy to love. We already had a sneak preview of the third album, KDIII, and we're super psyched to celebrate the birth of the only royal baby that matters. Live, he's joined by members of The Hickey Underworld, Bed Rugs and Gruppo Di Pawlowski. Anyone who's ever been to one of their shows, already knows this is something very special to look forward to.

<3 Floris Bates (NL)https://florisbates.bandcamp.com/To warm up your sweet hearts, we invited Floris Bates and his rented friends. Trained as a composer of classical music, he now makes catchy pop tunes with tropical 80's reverb vibes, which, according to his label Geertruida, "sound like Andrew Lloyd Webber on adderall while crying over his lost toyboy". The latest EP Celebrity Sex Tape dates from 2015 but his debut album should be on its way soon.

Mark your calendars and start counting the days!

“Peoples, artists and poets! If you wish to recover the sacred source of your own mythology and your own inspiration, the time has come to reunite yourselves within the historic bowels of our space, to ring once more the symbolic bell of your imaginative independence, and, holding aloft in one hand your dignity, and in the other the courage, to defy the storm of obscurantism that is threatening our country! Loose the blinding lightning of your anger and the avenging thunder of your paranoiac inspiration - dance till the sun wakes your souls”

LINE-UP//

Dj Jonastronaut (Stroom.tv) Brings some amazing afrofunk, vintage afrosoul and long forgotten afro hit singles. By emphasising aesthetics, he seduces the crowd into a world of ongoing equilibrium and the interval that articulates the afrodisiac of music history. If this man could live again, he would be a recordstore.

With the use of voice-movement actions, affective sounds, songs, breath, silence and musical elements of language we are exploring the possibilities of constructing sound theatre. Through such an artistic research we aim to emphasise what is hidden in the voice beyond meaning of words, and what is universal in vocal expression of human beings on the level of emotional and social communication.

Our performance will be finalized with a vocal workshop which is dedicated not only for singers but for anyone who delights in the freedom to experiment and expand the borders of their own voice. We would encourage vocal exploration through exercises and improvisations. Be welcome!

'Oddball toytown keyboard refrains, flatulent bass and boppy riddims before a riot 'grrrl shouty chick' steps up - the keys get atonal and weirder and all in all it's great stuff – melt Banana meets Ut meets Huggy Bear – the keys really lift things coming in like cut price can via Craig Scanlon's work on The Man Whose Head Expanded... like this very much.'

► Billions of Comrades (be)◄ (21.00 u)

Stemming from the Brussels DIY scene in 2011, Billions of Comrades mashes up organic sounds and Tenori-On synth beats to release an electro math pop energy. A direct, energetic and experimental blend that will make your head and hips wave.

Her warm voice guiding you through a saturated wilderness, Fetter's sound bridges the lo-fi surrealness of experimental electronics with the drama and magnetism of pop. Combined with her colorful self-made visuals, Fetter’s live sets are totally bewitching and hypnotic.

Get ready for something really special. Moving sigils is a project by digital artist / filmmaker Alexander Mangel and musician / composer Sjoerd Leijten, in which they develop an audiovisual feedback instrument. Images influencing sounds and vice versa. They are in the middle of the artistic and coding process. At In De Ruimte they will give the first Belgium demonstration of their system and performance, in which audio programming environment SuperCollider and game engine Unity are used.

moving sigils is made possible by the Creative Industry Stimulation Fund.

Combine a visual post internet avant gardist with a electronic music rebel. Oggy Records initiator Oscar Wyers will perform under his Thavmatvrgist moniker and will play a special live set, deconstructing and editting his own productions on the fly. This performance will be the soundtrack to the visual fantasmagorics of VJ Autocorrect.

This evening features three very danceable artists. First up, FAKA which is two individuals – Fela Gucci and Desire Marea – with a message: a queer South African performance art duo that addresses the issues of the young black queer body. Their mesmerising music brings together the weird jungle in which The Residents also happen to reside on the weekends with insanely danceable vogue and Afro electronic beats from big cities. Also on the bill is Dolly Bing Bing, a glamorous alien popstar created and impersonated by artist and dancer Elisabeth Van Dam. Kim Berly – Sheniqua World Tour no more – completes the evening making you drop and duck walk all through one of the coolest spaces in Ghent.

A focal point at the greyzone of a city… that is sometimes enough to give an underground a kick in its face. Since a couple of years the common ground In De Ruimte serves as the perfect generator for a clusterfuck of shows, expo’s graphic experiment and labels. Lede Hills 9 0 5 0 is a such a celebration of 5 imagineers from the Ghentian Underground.

☠ Venus Tropicaux (NL)https://soundcloud.com/venustropicauxVenus Tropicaux is gusto, squalor, delirium, bliss and mischief in all its raw, unfiltered noisy brilliance. These Rotterdam post-punk firebrands create a deliciously haywire pocket universe to call their own. Abrasive and hook-heavy, cheeky and austere, Venus Tropicaux is an equation that by any means shouldn’t make sense, but somehow does because of the unique chemistry between three individuals.

Welcome at the partij of the excuse! Sorry will kick off the summer with a tour through Antwerp, Brussels and Ghent. It releases things and it generates images, sessions, foods and performances with the latest findings.

Whilst on a trip to LA, London-based BFF's Natalie Chahal & Laura-Mary Carter were eating tacos outside the Playboy Mansion on Valentines Day, and came up with the concept of Shit Girlfriend - a DIY period-punk femme explosion meets the sticking out tongue emoji.

Shit Girlfriend is a way of life. Shit Girlfriend does not overthink. Everything is natural. The conception, songwriting, production, visuals - all the output is as DIY as you can get, and all conceived and delivered within an extremely short timeframe. The process is intense. The result is raw and real music that should be enjoyed by those who wish to have a good time, inspired in equal parts by an experimental Tinder experience, The Flying Lizards, Sonic Youth and Shampoo.

Annabel Lee is a garage pop outfit that has no qualms ploughing into grunge or punk when heads start bobbing somewhat too sluggishly. Beyond sounding absolutely badass, this modern western moniker alludes to a fierce femininity that won’t think twice before throwing kicks right where it hurts, only to smile melancholically at the sun minutes later.

The "outsider musician" label was created with her: Susan Dietrich, better known as The Space Lady, possibly the best known synonymous and feminine to Moondog; Susan began her career in the 80s, just when she began busking on the sidewalks of Boston dressed exuberantly, sending messages of love and pacifism, accompanied by an accordion and making versions of some contemporary pop hits or classics of that time.

10 years later she moved to one of the cradles of America's idealistic without prejudice: San Francisco. There she purchased a Casio piano, some effects and a microphone with which she managed to raise to a new level the street musical proposal of the area, and give to her speech a unique personality. Her legend began taking some awareness in the past decade, when in 2000 Irwin Chusid included her in the compilation "Songs In The Key Of Z" dedicated to such extravagant and unknown figures like the Space Lady.

We've been uploading, downloading, sharing and communicating online and it's time for smth new. X.perience deals with this next step. Yes, it's that time of the year and we're super stoked presenting you a selection of internationally acclaimed and young and upcoming artists from all over Europe and beyond. In essense I research new phenomenon in art which relate to social issues or anything for that matter that suffers from stereotypical views nowadays. We try to free the exhibition from its neo-liberal convention by questioning the core function of the exhibition.Is the exhibition an artwork on itself? Is a changing world having an effect on art?... It seems more likely that the artworld is not so much made out of exhibitions in a conventional sense seen but tends to transgress toward smth bigger, smth more profound. Therefore the characteristics of an exhibition can be revissited in a way that not only serves the function of portraying artworks but also offers a view as an overall context which in itself plays a role more fitting within todays transcending mindset. Experience a new exhibition that deliberatelly is dealing with an open idiosyncratic. But on the inside, the origins lay connected toward social tendensies of today. Neo Liberalism and its pseudo competitive ideology are beeing recontemplated as we speak by more and more people and therefore the artist aswell. People start detaching from mass consumption and start questioning conventions from their immediate/global surrounding. Conventions within society on the one hand but on the other hand within art are beeing consciously used, reworked and annalised and serve as basecoats for their oeuvre. This exhibition offers a metaphysical view and most artists will be there to talk about their work. Come and see how different internationally acclaimed artists selected, explore new worlds stimulated by a not so impossible utopia driven by technology, ecology, software but more so offering a view on our search to contemplate and capture our future in time and space.

Ice Cream: (live/touring Europe) Amanda Crist and Carlin Bezic form a wave based band that at first reminds of 80's no wave, lizzy mercier and is heavily bass guitar oriented. They deffinitelly know to trancend that 80s sound into a contemporary sound. Check out their video represented by Vice mag and much more below.http://ice-creamtheband.tumblr.com/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l9pbWSqdlo

Dolly Bing Bing + Alien Observer: (live/premiere)Dolly Bing Bing is a glamorous alien popstar created and impersonated by artist/dancer Elisabeth Van Dam. Dolly Bing Bing is an ancient athlete made from the rocks of the future. Dolly’s music is created in collaboration with multi-talented composer/producer Alien Observer (Laurens Mariën, NEIN, ex-Soldier’s Heart). Together they aspire to shape ‘the trippy soundtrack of a beautiful metaphysical future’, melting r&b, rap and experimental electronics with lyrical pop, philosophy and poetry. Dolly and Alien Observer will present their first two tracks ‘Born Twice’ and ‘Brilliant Bitches’ in an experimental performance seen as a micro-Gesamtkunstwerk. Thinking from the darkness of the female ‘hard core’, with her glossy face, open soul and flaming tenderness, Dolly inspires women to be sexual, powerful and cool, yet loving, transformative and soft. As a living sculpture, with her hyper trained body and super toned muscles, and as a bad-ass post-apocalypse bitch, Dolly reaches beyond the limits of human life into the animal, digital, hybrid, enhanced and heavenly.

Night Stalker: (dj set)Bram van Cauteren is busy as fuck, that we already know but his new project which he does with a live drummer is amazing. In true synthwave style he offers merch, cassettes, weird packs all that. We're stoked having him over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mac5p5R0TaAJoost Van Duppen will introduce us to the urban noise of New Port City.

♫ Surf Curse (USA)Nick Rattigan and Jacob Rubeck started Surf Curse in a basement in Reno, Nevada before moving to Los Angeles. They became part of the DIY scene anchored by internationally-renowned venue The Smell, eventually linking up with likeminded groups like Girlpool, The Garden, and Slow Hollows. The boys broke out with 2013’s Buds LP and Sad Boys EP. Their new album Nothing Yet marks a significant step forward from a group that has grown older, more mature, and more effective as songwriters.

https://surfcurse.bandcamp.com/♫ KIEFF (NL)Their first demo, Kieff Richards, came out in February 2016 and hits you just like a rolling stone. These three youngsters will warm your hearts with their carefree lo-fi noisepop.

We can't really let you in unless you register so please do:)))) And send us a message for some cheap ass presale tickets for five euros!! At the door it's seven, so you can save two euros if you buy presale! And that means that you can have one drink extra at the show, or buy a jojo or something else really cool.

Jooklo Zappa::: Are they realy descending from the most-high? Those who live on clouds can only look up towards those on some thrones. Those who got their bread mangled with peanut butter will give you twisted nerves and boggle your psycho-somatic nature(above nurture) with like minded frenzies as a way of intensifying your immuno-strategic tendencies, not just... another cup of tea with Ornete.

http://jooklo-zappa.blogspot.be/Anne F Jacques::: Scratches more then the edges of music concrete, escaping from the particular she draws onto the immediate. Keeping it real has never been more immensely and nothing like non-immersive nails inside many heads, not just another way of buttoning your shirt... what a grace, what a style.

https://soundcloud.com/annefTim Olive::: This guy goes gently and deeper into analog warmth with the help of cosy anti-trash wobble's. All pretty clean it seems, more real it is. Cutting up straight lines of no drama into fragmented curiosities. Stranger than paradise is not another night on earth.

Comfortably dystopian improvised music with the notorious Japanese instrument tenori-on ( 'on-the-hand' in Japanese), a found toy piano and self baked software. Tunings and scales change in breathtaking tempi, the signal-to-noise ratio is inverted and just for a moment the invisible data streams become tangible.

♫ IGUANA DEATH CULT (Rotterdam, NL)Holland's hyper psycho rock 'n roll machine will present their debut album The First Stirrings of Hideous Insect Life, out February 16th on their own label Amphibian Records! So good we're seeing stars already.

Adamn Killa (US)20-year-old rapper out of Chicago’s South Side with his first name tattooed on his forehead, his girl’s on his neck, and a nonchalant near-whispering rapping flow. On last year's Back-2-Ballin mixtape, Adamn Killa found his trademark sound, combining a somnolent style with poppy energy. He already collaborated with Yung Lean, Bladee, Shlohmo and recently also Ryan Hemsworth for the uplifting Commas track. As part of his first European tour the rapper will play in Ghent, next to stops at Bala Club in London and Progress Bar in Amsterdam. - https://soundcloud.com/adam47Killavesi (US)Associated with the popular Bala Club collective, Killavesi’s name and voice may already sound familiar. However, backed by partner-in-life-and-work Adamn Killa, 2017 might be the ultimate breakthrough year for Killavesi. The Chicago rapper with the recognizable pink hair colour, formerly in a duo with Nina Tech, is now making a career for her own. She has a distinct style of rapping characterized by autotune, mumbling and a good sense of rhythm, spit over stunning productions from the likes of h!tkidd, Hi Tom and others. She often sounds almost annoyed, marking the imminent influence of professional sad boys Yung Lean and Uli K. Still, with catchy hooks and melancholic verses, she grabs the gaze of the Instagram generation like no one else. Check out her just released Run & Hide debut mixtape. - https://soundcloud.com/killavesiSupport by Nightshop (BE) https://soundcloud.com/nightshopmusicHosted by Icy Fake (BE)https://soundcloud.com/user-600992013In de Ruimte, Fransevaart 28, 9050 Gent

☛ YERSINIA PESTISAccording to Wikipedia, YERSINIA PESTIS is a dirty disease. According to the Brussels underground it’s a young Brussels band. They bastardardize Black Metal, Psychobilly and other fertile styles which flourish like fungae in cellars. The band calls it Death Wave, which could be, with its razorsharp fuzz, fistpimping drums and creepy vocals, the morbid brother of Crap Wave.https://yersiniapestis.bandcamp.com☛ AYMERIC DE TAPOLAYMERIC DE TAPOL is a versatile French sound artist, noiser and modular synth freak that once got lost in Brussels. Nowadays you can call him one of the cities hidden gems. His most recent concerts and records (Lexi Disque, VLEK a.o.) show a grown up skater that is freely steeple chasing between technoise, power drones, French poptunes, sound art and analogue synth weirdness.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvvAK-1piDo☛ DJs Hnos.

Since the origin of rock in the fifties, the music industry has very much been a boys’ club. You’re probably tired, aren’t you?

Let the girls take over.

Girls go BOOM is girls putting girls on stage. And we’re throwing a launch party the only way we know how to. With a bang.

LINE-UP

OOO (NL)Piquet (BE)Dream Nails (UK)

Slam poetry by Hannah Maes (BE)Short film screenings

Tickets 8 euro at the doorDoors open at 20h00.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

OOO

Sleazy garagepunk out Groningen. With three girls. O my, did you even know that our small girly hands could hold guitars? You'll sure know after OOO punk out on stage.

Piquet

Piquet is a Belgian experimental pop band with transoceanic vocals. Intimate when needed, but not at all afraid of a bit of punk and eastern psychedelics. The band fronted by Lien Moris is something completely out of the box. Her voice has a hypnotic quality to it, her Dutch lyrics have a strange effect… but in a good way. Piquet is stubborn, unruly and determined to leave you behind with your bottom lip pressed to your belly button.

DREAM NAILS

Dream Nails are DIY punk witches from London. Described as “The Ramones meets Bikini Kill”, this feminist foursome are renowned for their riotous live shows, enjoying “semi-legendary status on the London gig circuit”. They headlined the Sisterhood stage at Glastonbury Festival 2016 and have been lauded by Dazed & Confused for having "a political push that’ll send any audience member reeling". Dream Nails’ DIY-powered energy is contagious and is sure to make the place go BOOM.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You’re a boy and worried you’re not allowed at Girls go BOOM? Chill out. Men are allowed, it’s just not about you for once.

Noah Punkt‘s Random Words is a blurry journey on surfaces and harmonies. A try on a wayward reflection on composing and constructing a musical surface pattern design. The four musicians create an organic and boundless consonance right at the very moment. Composition and improvisation blend into a colourful world between impressionism, expressionism and minimalism.

Composition with two tables # 1: constructing, deconstructing and reconstructing the letter "M". A recapitulation of previous encounters in their first public performance.

* Arnaud Paquotte + jo caimo: Must See! Must Feel! Be There!

http://www.antez.org/http://arnaudpaquotte.net/* Festoen(work in progress):Festoen is a project from Linde Carrijn en Laura Vroom, both graduated at KASK Drama.They took painting as a point of departure for them to research the fluent line between abstraction and anecdotic.

http://tinyurl.com/zynzdc6* Sun Color: Please don’t go check, it’s not safe to look directly at the Sun with your unprotected eyes. From our perspective it does look a little yellow, especially after sunrise or shortly before sunset,But don’t be fooled.If you could travel into space and look at the Sun without going blind, you’d find that it’s actually white, and not yellow.Using a prism, you can see how sunlight can be broken up into the spectrum of its colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. When you mix all those colors together, you get white.Here’s the strange part.If look at all the photons coming in, our star is actually sending the most photons in the green portion of the spectrum,Our Sun appears yellow to us because of the atmosphere.Photons in the higher end of the spectrum – blue, indigo and violet – are more likely to be scattered away, while the lower end of the spectrum – red, orange and yellow – are less easily scattered.When the Sun is close to the horizon, you’re seeing it distorted by more of the Earth’s atmosphere, scattering away the bluer photons and making it appear red. When there’s smoke and pollution in the air, it enhances the effect and it will look even redder.If the Sun is high in the sky, where it has the least amount of atmospheric interference, it will appear more blue.We’re so familiar with the Sun being yellowish-orange, that astronomers will artificially change the color of their images to look more yellowy.But really, the Sun looks like a pure white ball – especially when you’re out in de ruimte.

* Stephen Monning: Former 'Pi Is A Lie' shifting from sound to imagery, in his own words'The only thing I have is this audio reactive in the Critter & Guitari B&W Videoscope so I was planning on gooey video feedback most of the night. I can capture some video when I get home on friday though. If they would like more "synth" style stuff...'

John Ghost is a musical project by guitar-composer Jo De Geest. Their music shows influences from modal and free jazz as well as contemporary classical and progressive rock music. The compositions create a cinematic atmosphere which alternates with parts of conventional groove, and are linked together and broken up by focused improvisation pieces.

The band started in 2010 as a school project and got selected for the prestigious competition of the Ghent Jazz festival. In 2013 they finished their first EP and a year later they won the contest of “Muziekmozaïek” in the category of Jazz. Last year the band played in the finale of the second Storm!-contest (Ostend) and in November 2015 they confined themselves to the recording studio. Their first full album For A Year They Slept was released on 9 April 2016 and is unanimously praised by both critics and audiences.

BRAK stands for 2 things. First there is just BRAK that stand for cloudy water and second, BRutaal, Artistieke, Koffie. A brutal way of living, that we show in an artistic way and like Coffee we need it every day. A cup of images in the morning, in the evening and for some people all day long. Most of the things we will show circulated in a vague zone of day and night, work and play, me and friends, serious and a joke. In this cloudy atmosphere we found a lot of resemblance in our work and saw a challenge in combining this into a exhibition. With ‘PLEASE DON’T TAKE PICTURES’ we wanna give a image of how our worlds look alike.

Come and watch: Thursday we start at 19u30 till 22u The evening will be filled with good vibes, performance and a lovely concert of this wunderfull canadian guy; Isaac Vallentin http://www.isaacvallentin.com/and a great show by Summit : http://vi.be/summitFriday we start again at 19U30 till 01u This time we will show you some dancemoves with the lovely tunes of our beloved BIBI SECK from antwerp. https://soundcloud.com/bibi-seckSatherday and Sunday we will be there for those how want too come and have a second look or just want 2 chill from 14u till 19u

Short info.The Super Narrative is an exhibition that researches the communicatory density of the image. TSN is a groupshow focussing on all mediums with the one and only goal to select work that surpasses the normal way of communication and attempts to break free into another, more metaphysical language. The Super Narrative if you may.

Short origin.'The Super Narrative' is a concept first brought to life by Van der Borght bjornus during a research period on Post-Internet and Net-Art. It became clear that the general idea of producing artwork had shifted to a more commercial level within society and prominent artists were exploring another approach towards handling a medium. The content grew towards the representation of the new world trying to capture an idea that lots of times surpasses the usual way of communication. This metaphysical thinking found its footsteps in Dadaism, Situationism and Fluxus but it became really clear there was more to it. Artists were able to tell a story in a much broader way than what before was acustomed within the existing art scene. Conventions were thrown over board just like the consensus at that time. In this show we will focus upon 3 aspects within this contemporary phenomenon. Artworks that work with a certain narrative but in a way try to surpass and debunk them at the same time and persue even to trancegress its own content by trying to step into dialogue with its viewer. Second off we research abstraction of thought. This medium is fascinated by the reflection or intend of work generated while creating none narrative pieces mostly sculptural or as an installation but also existing solely online for instance. Social media and new age photography are 2 other consistently prominent media which became very dominant in post-internet and Net-Art because of obvious reasons like online exposure and the basic need to express ones feelings, thoughts, views etc. It may sometimes play with ephemeral subjects or so it seems at first glance. I am happy to present this show and am very motivated to talk more about the content within this show. this show might be controversial, might shock but is intended to stimulate critical thinking and tries to educate its viewer in motivating the mind on how we percieve art but also the world around us, as a global good.

...agitation free jamming as a way of tuning into some cosmical polka, sometimes they sneeze(very infectious), within the known and beyond, fine guitars swirling allong flutes not just for tribal matters.they are HOT and will tickle your inner mind for you not to forget the essentials. some people say its like sun ra, fela kuti and amon duul. those also say, listen for yourself...

Come and have a look and discover more of our contemporarians views upon transgression, meta physicality, a suggested future and much much more.

Main event will be on sunday. We will do a live exhibition build up during the day on saturday till late. There will be music.

we r researching the boundaries of the exhibition platform.This exhibition/happening will almost intirelly evolvearound found footage, sincerity w/i art and values countered within the artworks. We are at the spot to philosophise alongwith you. It's supposed to be provocative.

'Rendertime' is the amount of time a software program needs to digitally process code used to produce an artificial form. Can we talk abt a trancendence within contemporary art today? And when we speak of Post-Internet art do we not see the effects of information interacting on the world reflected by the artist? Is the artist becoming another type of artist than rather a bohemian with a sigaret and a pipe talking sartre and having frivolous lovelives? The answer is oc 'NO' but it is also 'myeah' but that's besides the point. What is to the point is that the internet changed our lives so therefore the consensus and in its turn the view of the artist. It is important to see a connection towards the fluxus movement and situationism. During the show we enlighten a lot of aspects within this new thinking. Most prevalent is the sort of transendence that manifests within this movement. The freedom of stepping away from creating an artwork for arts sake and therefore working with something that makes you think abt smth else than art, smth larger. Has the platform art underwent a makeshift to smth were the art platform evolved into smth more than just that and perhaps evolved towards a sort of social network with one great difference beeing by using images/sculptures/... instead of words? Is that what defines a contemporary artist these days? I don't know. The most important thing is the artwork and its dedication towards the public. As a curator these days it's important to select a level of freedom during the show. I think we succeeded in just doing that.

Rendertime is a pavilion under 'The Wrong' New Digital Art Biennale. 'The Wrong', derived from the image of debouchery the internet has, is the largest digital biennale in the world and showcases over 1100 artists online and in 70+ physical embassies worldwide.
